Record:
The Owner Joseph Zarrara remembers: '' In 1959, I purchased 0237eu from Luigi Chinetti for $2,500. At the time, he was located on 19th Street in Manhattan. Over the next two years, I invested all my spare time and an additional $5,000 into rebuilding it. After completing the restoration, I struggled to find a buyer. Carl Bross, an early collector from Detroit, showed interest during a diamond- buying trip to New York, but he ultimately passed on it. In the end, I sold it for just $2,000.
